[Bug 246508] Re: utf8 tags doesn't work in 0.6.14

[Robert Vollmert]

I may be mistaken, but the way I read the code, the "ENCODING" field
that is set using locale.getpreferredencoding as mentioned above only
affects the filename encoding (option "--fs-encoding").

On the other hand, eyeD3 seems to be quite limited regarding tags that
are not encoded with the default LATIN1. The "--set-encoding" option
allows writing UTF8, but it doesn't seem to affect the way tags are
parsed, so calling eyeD3 on a file with UTF8-encoded tags, it fails with
an error like "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1:
ordinal not in range(128)".

This is 0.6.16 -- should I file a new report for this slightly different
issue instead?

Cheers
Robert
